With 2026 in full swing, January has flown by and we are fully into February. I have looks at the page views and stats to check out the popular recipes posts from last month. There are no surprises here – at least for me, maybe you missed one of these posts? Either way I hope you enjoy checking out the Five Most Popular Recipes of Last Month – Jan-2026. It is a countdown, so be sure to scroll to end of this post to see #1!
#5 – Mexican Gravy
Called the true authentic enchilada sauce, Mexican Gravy is a delicious sauce that’s got a smoky, spicy flavor. It is perfect for Enchiladas (like my Beef Enchiladas) but also so good for nachos too (like my Chicken Sheet Pan Nachos). You are going to want to save this sauce recipe for all sorts of dishes!
#4 – Fancy Pigs in a Blanket
Classic appetizers and snacks can be elevated to more grown-up versions with a few elegant flavor combinations. The addition of Dijon mustard and sharp cheddar cheese to miniature smoked sausages and flaky crescent style rolls gives you Fancy Pigs in a Blanket!
#3 – Sourdough Dinner Rolls
Crusty on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside – these sourdough dinner rolls are a great change to the typical dinner rolls. You are basically making everyone a personal mini sourdough loaf – who’s not going to love that? They are amazing with a little butter spread in the middle. You can turn them into little sandwiches or use them to sop up some gravy.
#2 – Chicken & White Bean Soup
A creamy hearty soup loaded with plenty of chicken, white beans and veggies – this recipe for Chicken & White Bean Soup is going to be enjoyed any night of the week. The simplicity of the ingredients is what makes it such and inviting dish. You can’t get much more “home cooking” then theses classic rustic flavors all in a hot soup.
#1 – Blackstone Cowboy Stir-Fry
I don’t usually make recipes that require a super specialized piece of cooking equipment (except maybe slow cookers), but I am so in love with my Blackstone griddle, I can’t help it. For the most part the other things I have made thus far can be made on the stove top, however this Blackstone Cowboy Stir-Fry really does the need the wide open flat space of the griddle. It is a total game changer for making meals like this for the whole family at once. By the by – this is not an ad for Blackstone products at all – my hubs got me one for my birthday this year and I just love it so very much.
